Who says #EV long distance driving isn't possible & we dont have the infrastructure?
With several Berks to Cornwall trips under my belt, I can now add Berks to Scotland. Just 2 stops en route, for charging the car, comfort stop for me, coffee & food. #EVCars #sustainability #hyundai #Kona

Just seen single male (50s ?) Park in a parent & child space. Infuriating...if you don't qualify for the space (parent/child or disabled), don't park there! It's quite simple really.

Watched @itvx.com Breaking the Silence, Kate's Story on Sunday about domestic abuse & (now) ex MP Kate Kniveton. Powerful piece illustrating #domesticabuse affects women of all backgrounds, in the police to surgeons & more. @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social has much to do in this important arena.

Trump has told the Wall Street Journal its reporters are not welcome on his visit to Scotland. As a Scot living 3 miles from Trump's Turnberry golf course, I can tell you the unwelcome visitor is Trump. He's despised in Scotland & he'll be met by 1000s channelling the late great Janey Godley.

Why tf do we have to read every single day in the headlines what Farridge says he *would* do IF he was in charge? He isn't! And if the media really want to know what other parties would do differently, why not ask the Greens or Lib Dems for instance?

We have a problem here in Sandhurst with a local Cllr going on the warpath due to ARP (Afghan Resettlement Prog), which is a central govt initiative. But hey, why let the truth get in the way of whipping up division etc.
For the billionth time - immigrants are not the cause of the housing shortage, Tatcher’s “right to buy” is. Abolish the stupid policy and allow councils to invest more in public housing construction.
